I'm glad that '20 Feet From Stardom' got a documentary nomination. It's about the great girl-group backup singers of the 1960s and 1970s, and what happened to them when everybody started using Autotune and didn't need backup singers any more.

@Henriette, you're right – Fruitvale was entirely forgotten! I think it came out too early in the year. The Place Beyond the Pines also came out earlier in the year, and was also forgotten, although I though Ryan Gosling was excellent in it.

I'm really rooting for Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto. Dallas Buyers Club looks great. Matthew M really does throw himself into his roles. He was the only saving grace from that travesty Magic Mike. God. I hated that movie.

That documentary on the backup singers sounds fab. I will keep my eye out for that.

I'll bet Nicole Kidman feels like an idiot for passing on Gravity now.

Where's the Best score category Enty? John Williams earns his 49th Oscar nom and no mention? At least Hans Zimmer's 12 Years A Slave score wasn't nominated which is nothing more than a Thin Red Line re-hash.

We are now living in a world where Stanley Kubrick never won an Oscar while Jackass gets nominated.

My favorite nomination is JACKASS. I hope they're seated next to Meryl at the nominee luncheon.Nebraska was meh. Big deal in the my hometown because the screenwriter is a homeboy. But I found it to be uniformly uninteresting.

Maybe if someone took a baseball bat to Bruce derns junk…. that would have elevated it.

Why did jonah turd hill get nominated. Jeesh his ego went from epic to colossal. Ugh and wolf of wall street sucks. I hope matthew wins and leo loses. He can go cry his loss away in some supermodels vagina.

We often don't get to see some movies until after the Academy Awards. Having written that, I really enjoyed Gravity & American Hustle. They have started True Detective here in Australia & Matthew Mc is incredible. He was also great in Magic Mike. A group of girlfriends & I went to see Magic Mike & we were impressed there was a plot.

Fuck Leo – go McBongo or Chiwetel or Dern as a nod to his body of work. Hell, even Bale – he was fabulous in American Hustle.

Cate's a lock and it's about time they did more than give her a consolation best supporting Oscar. Sorry Amy Adams, I loved American Hustle but no. Meryl was godawful in Osage County. Sandra's a nice girl but hardly in Cate's league as an actress. Judi Dench probably deserves it as much as Cate but I doubt she'll get it.

Oprah – DENIED! Yay. I wouldn't mind JLaw taking it but I'd prefer a Lupita Nyong'o win. Julia sucked in Osage County. Sally Hawkins was great but no and June Squibb is honored just to be nominated.

Leto will probably take it although Michael Fassbender has been robbed in the past and they make up for that with consolation best supporting Oscars sometimes. Jonah Hill can blow me, I'm certainly not going to blow him.

Best Picture – 12 Years A Slave. Best Director – Steve McQueen. The Academy likes to pretend it's more than a popularity contest. It isn't and David O'Dickhead has a lot of enemies.

I seriously do not get the Sandra Bullock nom. It was BARELY any acting at all. So weird. I mean, I like her. But if you saw the movie and watch a lot of movies, there was barely any acting going on really. Voice acting, sure. The "supporting" categories are always tough, I find. There are just way too many excellent performances to nominate.
